It was a beautiful partly cloudy day in the United Tribe Territory as Humphrey's class was walking through the forest outside of the territory towards a very very special destination, "Dad where are we going?"Runt asked curiously "you'll see Runt, you'll all see."Humphrey said as he and the class continued walking until the got to a large cave surrounded by trees one of them had a carved message that said do not enter. Humphrey stood in front of the class "ok pups prepare yourselves, because what I'm about to show you is going to blow your minds."Humphrey said with excitement and then he walked into the cave with the pups following him.

The group entered the mostly dark cave and walked up a little slope and that was when they heard water roaring and then they arrived in a massive room with a massive pool with a strange cyan colored swirling whirlpool in it as well as a gaping hole in the ceiling. The pups looked down at the pool on top of a 10 foot clif "neat a glowing whirlpool." Anais said sarcastically as she was uninterested in this "this is not just any whirlpool class this is a portal through time."Humphrey said with excitement the pups all laughed at Humphrey including Runt, Humphrey looked at them in disbelief.

"You mean to tell us that this swirling death sentence is a portal through time?"a tan furred male pup asked skeptical "now i know you guys are skeptical but I'm telling you that this whirlpool is a portal through time,look over here."Humphrey said walking over to a little cave drawing that looked to be thousands of years old.

It appeared to be depicting the little origin of the pool it showed what looked to be a meteor falling from the sky and crash landing into this cave and into this small lake, then it showed the dire wolves discovering this cave. "No one knows what that meteorite is or where it came from, all they know is that it fell from the sky and landed here,the direwolves at the time believe it to be a gift from Fenrir, until i guess they learned that it was actually a curse depends on who you ask."Humphrey said as the pups gazed at the whirlpool again.

"The direwolves hadn't messed with this thing for a long time and has warned others to steer clear from this cave, and for a time people listened either out of fear or of skepticism, that is until the year 1566, an Alpha scholar named Ethan and a couple of friends who had heard legends of a cave with a pool that swallowed you and wouldn't spit you back out until sometime sooner or later, came to this very cave and Ethan jumped into the whirlpool and never resurfaced."Humphrey said "he most likely drowned Mr Humphrey."a red female pup said "Ah i know you would think that but no, he came back in 1955."Humphrey said "you mean he came back 300 years later?"A black furred male pup asked "yes, everyone he ever knew was gone, his girlfriend his family passed."Humphrey said looking at his class who was still unconvinced.

Fed up and brown furred male pup was about to jump into the pool until Humphrey put him into a bearhug "what in Fenrir's name are you doing, Jacob?!" "testing this time portal."Jacob said "no it's too dangerous you can't control where you go,you could end up 100 years into the future or past."Humphrey said as he carried Jacob away "come on class."Humphrey said as the other pups followed however Runt gazed into the swirling pool staring at the eerie blueness of the water as it moved into a circle and disappeared into black abyss,then Runt followed his class and Father outside and they immediately left for their territory.

Later that day

The sun was slowly setting over the horizon as Runt sat 10 feet in front of the den thinking about the temporal whirlpool,Kate walked up to him and sat down next to him "when I was your age I took a field trip to that whirlpool,of course I didn't believe it was true either."Kate said with a smile "mom say it was true,that whirlpool can take you anywhere in time,where would you want to go?"Runt asked curiously Kate thought about that there was multiple things she wanted to do and see "Well I would like to see my great great great grandfather Richard and see what he was like,why do you ask dear?"Kate asked "honesty i would like to go to the future and see what my life is going to be like."Runt said Kate looked at her son with a knowing expression "are you afraid that your future won't turn out as you hoped?"

"Yeah I want a beautiful wife and family and i want to be a great omega."Runt said "I'm sure you'll be a fantastic omega Runt,an omega everyone will look up too,including Chalk and Vanilla, you know you'll have to be a positive role model to them."Kate said rubbing his back comfortably as Runt nodded in understanding, "don't worry about the future honey it's going to distract you from the now." Kate said as she kissed his the top of his head and stood up and walked into the den leaving Runt alone to his thoughts.

Later

The moon and stars shined brightly as Runt laid wide awake still thinking about the whirlpool and about his mother's words about letting the future distract from the now,Runt was trying to heed her her advice but he still couldn't shake the wonder of what the future holds for him,his friends and family,he had to know, he needed to know, he wanted to know, Runt carefully stood up and tip toed around his sleeping family and then he walked outside and made a break towards the direction of the cave. It took him half an hour to get there and when he arrived he immediately went into the cave and walked up to cliff and stared into the swirling water Runt was a little bit nervous about this because what if this didn't turn out to be a portal he would most likely drown and everyone would be devastated.

Runt took a deep breath and jumped off the cliff and plummeted down into the water it was then everything was spinning at an astonishing speed as Runt was caught in the whirlpool, Runt held his breath as everything spun and he closed his eyes tightly as there was a bright blue light and he felt a powerful force pull him downward.
